TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) – When you see fiery protests, and a world power slowly moving into a country not their own, it may be easy to dismiss it, as another world event. However, Nick Telezyn has a differing viewpoint.

“For years the Ukraine has been taken over from the west, from the east, from the north, from the south. All they ever wanted was their own country. That’s all they really want. They just kind of want to be left alone,” Telezyn said. He is the General Sales Manager at WTHI-TV.

He also has family, living in Ukraine. He gets to talk to them everyday. On Wednesday, he was gracious enough to have his great nephew speak a little to News 10. He lives in Lviv, the western part of the country.
